sacrifice of longer-term objectives 
include the following. 
▪ Postponing or abandoning capital expenditure projects, this would eventually contribute to growth and 
profits, in order to protect short term cash flow and profits. 
▪ Cutting R&D expenditure to save operating costs, and so reducing the prospects for future product 
development. 
▪ Reducing quality control, to save operating costs (but also adversely affecting reputation and 
goodwill). 
▪ Reducing the level of customer service, to save operating costs (but sacrificing goodwill). 
▪ Cutting training costs or recruitment (so the company might be faced with skills shortages). 
Managers may also 
manipulate 
results, especially if rewards are linked to performance. This can be 
achieved by changing the timing of capital purchases, building up inventories and speeding up or 
delaying payments and receipts.

Methods to encourage a long-term view: 
Steps that could be taken to encourage managers to take a 
long-term view, so that the 'ideal' decisions are taken, include the following: 
▪ 
Making short-term targets realistic
. If budget targets are unrealistically tough, a manager will be 
forced to make trade-offs between the short and long term. 
▪ 
Providing sufficient management information 
to allow managers to see what trade-offs they are 
making. Managers must be kept aware of long-term aims as well as shorter-term (budget) targets. 
▪ 
Evaluating managers' performance 
in terms of contribution to long-term as well as short-term 
objectives. 
▪ 
Link managers' rewards to share price
. This may encourage goal congruence. 
▪ 
Set quality based targets 
as well as financial targets. Multiple targets can be used.
